Please drop in and have a look round. There's plenty to see and play with, and usually a good crowd to converse with.

Very relaxed and very open. Gates open at noon and shut when the last person leaves (often well into the dark hours!). Come for day or just an hour. I'm certain you'll enjoy yourselves.

Cheers

We're holding our next open evening & crank up on the evening of July 11th this year T Railway Cottage, Oxford.

It would be nice to see anyone who fancies a visit whether we've met before or not. It's very casual, just drop in and have nose around, play with an engine or just feast on the free food!

*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT*
Following a final field inspection this evening, it is with deep regret and a very heavy heart that the committee of 1000 Engine Rally have made the decision that the 2019 Rally will not be able to take place due to the persistent rainfall over the past week and the prolonged adverse conditions forecasted making the Rally field unsuitable for such an event.
The safety and enjoyment of all our...

Any of you lads who can make it we have the Hathorn Davey triple expansion engine in steam, and there is a rumour that the mighty Ruston 4VER (all 95 ltrs of it) will be "under test" at certain times of the day.
This will be the first time it's run in preservation having been dormant for over 40 years and never before seen by the public.
Official release to the populace will be next year at our May Open Day....

As usual there will be many engines out and running with lots of others to look at - a mix of petrol, gas, oil, hot air and steam.

All are welcome, be it look around, chat, help out or just eat burgers and drink tea!

Gates open at noon. They close when the last person leaves!

For anybody that used to go to the old Riccall Christmas Crankups, the field we will be using is the one which used to be used for the ploughing etc.
There is plenty of room for those that want to do a bit of ploughing, cultivating etc.

One disappointment was how much the show has been cut down, cost saving exercise but the rally was once known for being the largest in Cornwall but now it seems less than half the size it used to be, Dorset changing it's dates have put a few people off doing this one the week before.
But each section has had to have a cut in numbers (Just over 80 Stationary Engine from what used to be...

Sadly the weather was too good, and there was minimal spectators so by the time the engine stopped there was no one walking around so most people shut off. Plenty of space for the amount of engines on show! The Sun also made taking photos a PITA....
